Quasar Posted April 2, 2019 In the wake of the announcement there will be lots of Doom "stuff" at QC this year, I've finally made my mind up to make the trip. Anybody else planning on being there? 17 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted April 2, 2019 I'll be there! Planning on getting a BYOC seat? Either way, there's a regular group of Doom folks who cluster together there, and it's kinda the de facto "home base" even for those who don't usually purchase seats (e.g. MTrop). Up to you, no pressure, etc. 2 Share this post Link to post
Gaia74 Posted April 2, 2019 well if 2016 doom was promoted in a quakecon if not bad memory, this is be better :3 I wanna go!!! wait, it's in dallas, texas :"c 1 Share this post Link to post
Knee Deep In The Fan Posted April 3, 2019 I'll be there, just got to try to wake up early enough to register for the BYOC lol 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted April 3, 2019 This would be a surefire thing for me but plane tickets alone are all in the area of $1,700. I hate living in the most isolated city in the world. 1 Share this post Link to post
Caffeine Freak Posted April 3, 2019 Very strong possibility. Went to QC in '08, '10, '14, and '18, haven't regretted it yet. With all the Doom stuff, I'm strongly considering it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chezza Posted April 3, 2019 If I were to go to one of these conventions it would be this one. But the whole travel thing for me as well... But I'm very keen to see what content they reveal. 2 Share this post Link to post
JKist3 Posted May 15, 2019 I have a byoc ticket, but it's still up in the air if I'll actually make it. This would be my first byoc so not sure what people usually do for planning. Are people here trying to select seats together? 1 Share this post Link to post
DevastatioN Posted May 19, 2019 Got a BYOC ticket just in case something good comes this year! There's a good chance I'll be going anyway. Maybe looking for a room mate even! 1 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted June 4, 2019 It seems that a fair number of Doom community stalwarts are attending Quakecon this season: @Quasar, @Xaser, @Altazimuth, @Kaiser, @esselfortium, @Jimmy, @MTrop, @Dime, and yours truly. I actually got a press pass because I am a professional Doom person!! 21 Share this post Link to post
Caffeine Freak Posted June 5, 2019 Can now confirm I will be there as well. 2 Share this post Link to post

Zakken Posted July 3, 2019 It appears we'll be having not just one, but three different classic Doom tourneys. Should be fun to watch! So glad we're having another notable LAN tournament since QCon 2013. 6 Share this post Link to post

bj25x Posted July 24, 2019 I’ll be there! First time at QuakeCon, should be awesome. Anybody else from the Slayers Club RSVP for the “exclusive” event Friday at 7? 0 Share this post Link to post

BYOC tournies streamed here usually https://www.twitch.tv/quakecon2 edit: IIRC last year they allowed community members to guest cast matches. Would be cool to see that in Doom :D Edited July 24, 2019 by plsmbmp_rude 1 Share this post Link to post

Zakken Posted July 26, 2019 Congratulations to JKist3 and DevastatioN for taking the 2v2 TDM tourney tonight! I think next time, they should definitely up the fraglimit and pick bigger maps than SSL2... 0 Share this post Link to post

RonnieJamesDiner Posted July 27, 2019 I almost died when I realized the event passes (I think that's what those are) have the classic Doom keycard graphic on them... It's kind of heartwarming to see how much love and celebration there is for Doom, still to this day. So happy for the Doomworlders (and Doom fans in general) who get to be there right now attending this! 1 Share this post Link to post
Knee Deep In The Fan Posted July 27, 2019 Any of those Doom comics still available? 0 Share this post Link to post
sarge945 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) In light of the recent Nintendo Switch release of Doom, I have made a GZdoom compatible addon in celebration and to make it more in-line with the new version! You can get it here! Edited July 27, 2019 by sarge945 0 Share this post Link to post
Knee Deep In The Fan Posted July 28, 2019 Has anyone even got to play the Eternal demo yet? It's always booked up for the day, by the time I get there. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted July 29, 2019 I played it on Friday morning during the press hour. It was the same demo they had at E3, basically. My D44M skills are very rusty so I wasn't feeling very badass, and I was having some very strange issue where my character kept randomly strafing or moving around or jumping (I have no idea if it was a game issue or a controls issue or phantom inputs from a connected controller or what), so it was overall a pretty blah experience for me. 1 Share this post Link to post
